Flying PIP

Flying PIP offers a way to make a moving picture-in-picture effect without resorting to keyframes to animate it. It also includes controls for Outline and Drop Shadow.

Setup

It is important to understand that Flying PIP has its own animation built in. Setting the Start Point and End Point positions will cause a move between those two points. If you wish to use the keyframing of your NLE, it is best to check the Disable Animation checkbox.

Set up the initial state of your picture-in-picture by setting the Position, Rotation and Zoom levels under the Start Point section. Make sure your timeline playhead is at the beginning of your clip for the most accurate view of the results.

Dial in the final placement of your move by setting the Position, Rotation and Zoom under the End Point (Animation) section.

If you wish your animation to have a pause at the beginning and/or end, set values in seconds into the Start and End Hold values.

Finish by styling your picture-in-picture with an outline or drop shadow.

Disable Animation forces any values which have to do with the End Point position to be ignored. When Disable Animation is checked, only the Start Point section controls are used for your picture-in-picture placement.

Position controls the initial location of your video. Whether or not you’re using animation, the Position control under the Start Point section is what you will use in all cases.
